Select Your Own Categories & No More Repeats!
Hi everybody!
Below you will find details of our second weekly update. This week we focused on addressing feedback from our player base regarding category customisation and question repetition. Being able to adjust the category presets was our most requested feature and we subsequently made it our highest priority. We hope that following this update you’ll be able to customise Trivia Tricks to suit any player audience!
Additionally, Trivia Tricks now tracks which questions the player has seen to ensure minimal repeats. This system even mixes online players stats together, ensuring the questions are as new as possible for that particular lobby!
Over the next week we’re looking at improving the user interface for adding local players and selecting your character. Stay tuned!

[h3]Category Vetoing![/h3]
- Players can now veto up to 6 categories
- Playing with adjusted categories will label the lobby rules and category selection as ‘custom’ in the server browser
- The existing category presets have been adjusted to accommodate this change
- As more questions are added we will increase the number of categories players can veto proportionally!
- The preset categories still have the 25% chance reduction to select the maths category
- When categories are set to 'custom' however all categories will have an equal chance of being picked
[h3]Improvements to Question Variety![/h3]
- Trivia Tricks will now track the questions a player has seen and how many times they have been seen it
- Trivia Tricks then prioritises showing you the questions you have seen the least
- In an online game all players seen questions stats will be combined, ensuring everybody is seeing as new content as possible to create a level playing field
- The seen questions are saved to the file located at %LOCALAPPDATA%/TriviaTricks/Saved/SaveGames/QuestionCache.sav
- This will be synchronized through Steam Cloud
- This file can be deleted without impacting unlocked cosmetics and player stats (However you will see repeated questions!)
- Additionally it is no longer possible to get a question from the same category twice in a row
[h3]Updates to Question Database[/h3]
- Heavily expanded the ‘History’ category to feature more questions on Eastern European history, ancient civilisations and the space race!
- Additional questions in the 'Anime' and 'Geography' categories
- Fixed a number of typos in our questions (Thank you to all players who reported these!)
[h3]Bug Fixes[/h3]
- Fixed bug where using Q and E on the keyboard would skip over menu options in the Character Creator and Statistics Page if the player had interacted with the Character Select Screen within that session
